1. Click on Edit quiz.

You can use either link to edit the quiz.

2. Click on Add on the right side of the page.

3. Select + a random question.

There are three selections for adding questions to your quiz:

+ a new question: Selecting a new question will allow you to create and add a new question. It is recommended to create questions outside of a specific quiz rather then from inside the quiz. Read this article on how to create a question.

+ from question bank: Selecting from a question bank will allow you to select a question bank and then choose one or more questions to add to this quiz. Use this choice if your question bank is not separated by question type or if you do not want the questions to be randomly drawn from the question bank. You can, however, still deliver the questions randomly to the students by changing the default for the quiz layout in the Quiz edit setting page.

+ a random question: Selecting a random question will allow the quiz to pull any one of the questions within that question bank. TITANium will not pull the same question twice for the same attempt. So, any given two students will almost certainly have different questions in a different order.

4. Use the drop down menu to select the category where the questions are located.

5. Use the drop down menu to select the number of questions to pull.

6. Click on Add random question.

7. The Edit quiz page now shows that 10 questions will be randomly drawn.

You can click on the Add link again to add questions from a second question bank or category. So, for example, if you wanted some random M/C questions, use the process we just did. If you want to have some random M/C questions, plus one random Essay question, you can follow those steps a second time, but for the second time, choose the category where the Essay questions are located rather than the one where the M/C questions are located.
